Plot

James T. Kirk is sent to assist in the evacuation of Federation personnel from the crisis-wracked planet of Dekkanar. He is ordered to only participate in the evacuation, not to even raise shields or fire weapons. The situation becomes complicated when Captain Kasak takes an experimental Klingon warship to the planet as well

The novel also offers an alternate explanation, via Kasak's viewpoint, of why Klingons' facial features have changed over the years.
